James Hudson Taylor IV (N/A – N/A) is an American preacher and missionary whose calling from God has guided over 30 years of ministry among Chinese communities worldwide, continuing the legacy of his great-great-grandfather, J. Hudson Taylor, founder of the China Inland Mission (now OMF International). Born in Taiwan to James Hudson Taylor III, a missionary and seminary president, and Leone, he was raised in a family steeped in six generations of missionary service, growing up among Chinese culture in Kaifeng until 1939 and later Hong Kong. Converted in his youth, he graduated from Seattle Pacific University with a B.A., earned an M.Div. from Asbury Theological Seminary (1987), and completed a D.Min. there in 2011, shaped by mentors like Dr. Joseph Wang at Lexington Chinese Church. Taylor’s calling from God led him to full-time ministry with OMF International in 1987, initially researching and mobilizing prayer for China through the Pray for China Fellowship with Dr. David Adeney (1985–1987). Ordained informally through his missionary service, he preached at Chinese Bible Church of Greater Boston and served with Campus Evangelical Fellowship in Taiwan, later becoming OMF’s Chinese Ministries Field Director in Hong Kong (1998–2006). Since 2020, he has been president of China Evangelical Seminary (CES) in Taipei, founded by his father in 1970, calling believers to deepen their faith through theological education and practical discipleship. Married to Yeh Min Ke in 1993, bringing Chinese heritage into the Taylor lineage, with three children—James V, Selina, and Joy—he continues to minister from Taipei, extending his family’s gospel legacy with a focus on faithfulness in his generation.
